Jags start week a 4-point underdogs vs. Titans

Despite them shutting out the Indianapolis Colts and defeating them Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offense wasn’t all that great, even with the changes that were made at quarterback and offensive play-caller. That may explain why Vegas still believes they are the underdogs for Thursday night’s game, as Odds Shark has them listed with a point spread amount of (+4).

One tidbit worth noting for the Jags’ struggling offense is that Leonard Fournette will be returning from a one-game suspension, which is big for backup-turned starter Cody Kessler. Additionally, starting Kessler puts the Titans in the dark about the quarterback position as they clearly had Blake Bortles’ number, acquiring a 3-6 record against him as a starter.

As for the Titans, they’re currently coming off a hard-fought win, too, as they had to come from behind to beat the New York Jets Sunday by a score of 26-22. However, their offense, like the Jags’, isn’t particularly explosive. The unit will come into Week 14 with the No. 28 ranked offense in terms of yards and point average and the No. 29 ranked passing attack. In all probability, that could set up for a low scoring game between the two much like their last meeting, which ended in a score of 9-6.

Kickoff for the Jags and Titans AFC South showdown will begin at 8:20 p.m. EST at Nissan Stadium via NFL Network, FOX and Amazon video.
